Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about booking and experiencing this safari package.

The 8-day Lemosho Route and 9-day Northern Circuit have the highest summit success rates (over 90-95%) because their gradual elevation profile allows optimal acclimatization.

For every trekker, we provide an extensive support team of 1 senior guide, 1 assistant guide, 1 mountain chef, and 3-4 professional porters to carry gear and camp equipment.

We provide heavy-duty 4-season mountain tents and mess tents. Climbers should bring layered thermal clothing, waterproof jacket/pants, sturdy broken-in hiking boots, warm sleeping bag (-10°C to -15°C), and trekking poles.

Our guides conduct daily medical health checks (pulse oximeter oxygen readings and heart rate), carry emergency bottled oxygen and first aid kits, and are certified Wilderness First Responders.

Our mountain chefs prepare 3 hot, high-energy, nutrient-rich meals daily (soups, meats, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits). All drinking water is boiled and filtered daily.
